Okay, so, Tenten and Sasuke use wires to slow Gaara down enough for Shikamaru to hit him with a proper Shadow Possession. We drop down from above with a Judgement Kick (tm) which is basically putting a fuckload of our shockwave chakra into a single axe kick from above. Even if this doesn't kill him, it should fuck with his defenses enough for Sasuke to finish him with a Chidori.

Thoughts?

>>42541196
I just realized looking over the pastebin that we haven't come up with a name for our unique jutsu yet. Part of that I guess is because we still haven't decided on a name for the element, but still. We need something to yell when we do a big awesome attack with it. So what to call our shockwave blast?

Gaara roars again. "Are you afraid of me? Come out and fight!"

A ways away you see Temari cowering in fear, trying to stay out of the fight.

Sasuke notices your group and comes over to your hiding spot while Gaara is still searching for him. Gaara is bashing trees apart with his morphed arm with little effort, snarling all the while.

"So you guys made it." Sasuke pants. He looks pretty worn out. "I've used Chidori twice today, and this guy is stronger than ever. I feel like I might just be able to pull it off a third time if I get a few minutes to rest, but I'm drained otherwise."

You assess your situation. Sasuke isn't doing so hot. You, Tenten and Shikamaru are all at decent chakra levels, and Kiba and Akamaru are totally fresh. Gaara's strength is unreal, so you need to avoid taking hits if at all possible, and he's closing in on your position as you speak.

"Well?" Kiba asks. "What do we do?"

>A.Throw everything we've got at Gaara right now

>B.Guerrilla tactics, keep him occupied then get him in position for Sasuke

>C.Try to mount a full retreat

>D.Let someone else come up with a plan

>E.Other

>>42541295
>B.Guerrilla tactics, keep him occupied then
get him in position for Sasuke

"But that's just my opinion." and turn to Shikamaru.

>D.Let someone else come up with a plan

"Got any ideas?"

>>42541295

Even if this doesn't kill him, it should fuck with his defenses enough for Sasuke to finish him with a Chidori.

Get Shikamaru's assessment of the plan, and make sure Sasuke's up for a third Chidori.

>>42541295
>B.Guerrilla tactics, keep him occupied then get him in position for Sasuke

>>42541295

"Most importantly stay safe. We can't do anything reckless with this guy."

>>42541295

Be evasive as fuck.
Also ask shikamaru what do

>>42541295
>>B.Guerrilla tactics, keep him occupied then get him in position for Sasuke

>>42541291
Shattershot
Rolling Thunder
Staggershock

>>42541295

Pack tactics. Stay alive and wear him down until either help arrives or he runs out of juice.

>>42541295

this.

Also, Judgement Kick. Terrible name

>>42541295
>E.Other
Something that occurs to me: He needs to compact the sand in order to defend properly against a Chidori. But compacted sand is shit at taking a shockwave, so he'll be vulnerable to our attacks then. Likewise, if he tries to cushion the blow from one of shockwaves his sand won't be dense enough to block the Chidori. So a one-two punch between us and Sasuke might be able to hurt him. So use Kiba and Tenten to harry him, Shikamaru binds him with shadows while he's distracted, and then Kon and Sasuke move in for the kill.

>>42541291
>>42541369

Shock Release.

Which jutsu? The one where we throw a blast? Or the one where we sorta reflect the force of an attack onto the attacker?

>>42541295
>>42541407
Seconding this.

>>42541412
The blast. Reflecting the force back was kind of unintentional, until we learn to do it consistently I don't think we can call it a jutsu.

>>42541407
If we charge in behind Sasuke we can substitute out with him at the last second and strike with a shockwave, allowing Sasuke to follow up.

>>42541428

I like Shattershot, but I think that needs to actually shatter something (or if we find out it shattered part of Lee's arm bone(s)) until we call it that.

Like how Chidori was called Lightning Cutter because it actually "cut" through lightning.

>>42541428

I'm >>42541469

I mean how the "2nd phase" of Chidori was called Lightning Cutter.

Made a mistake.

>>42541412
I still don't like "shock release" at all. Thunder makes more sense as Wind+Lightning, and is a more accurate description of the whole effect rather than the stunning side effect.

It also wouldn't immediately give away the existence of a secondary effect if someone overheard the phrase "Thunder Release".

>>42541469
We know it broke Lee's arm badly. That was explicitly stated. Also it's a concussive force, which was also explicitly stated.

"Shattershot" would make sense.

>>42541498

Thunder Release sounds more like Storm Release to me, though I do like the "hidden" secondary effect part.

>>42541514
>That was explicitly stated.

No. It was stated that he messed up Lee's arm badly.

Never said broken.

>>42541527
How else do you "mess up" an arm, anon? We didn't give him a cramp.

And Storm is Lightning+Water, so Thunder for Lightning+Wind seems fine. I don't see at all what the problem is.

>>42541498
What about "Force Release"? I'm not overly keen on Thunder release because it seems more like a derivation of lightning, rather than it's own thing. Not to mention it's closeness with the next Thunder-god; Tenten

>>42541295


>Give Sasuke his sword

Will this help?

>>42541561
Could be nerve and muscle damage from the electric component of the technique causing spasming. Though we probably did cause at least some bone damage.

>>42541573
How about Impact Release?

>>42541561

I agree, but it was still not explicitly stated that his arm was broken. Just "messed up", which implies broken but is not explicitly stated.

/autism.

Shattershot is a good name.

>>42541573

Force keeps reminding me of the Force from Star Wars.

>>42541578

It could, if he uses it to extend Chidori somehow and stabs Gaara in deep.

>>42541295
>B.Guerrilla tactics, keep him occupied then get him in position for Sasuke
>E.Other

Give Sasuke his sword.

>>42541620
>It could, if he uses it to extend Chidori somehow and stabs Gaara in deep.
Nah, the reason we're holding onto Sasuke's sword for him in the first place is because he doesn't know how to use Chidori with it yet. So that won't work.

>>42541573
Not only does that sound too much like Star Wars for comfort, it's not as descriptive. Thunder is literally the result of Lightning and Wind/air interacting, it's as accurately descriptive as you can get without suggesting its stunning effect.

>>42541643
>because he doesn't know how to use Chidori with it yet.

Now might be the right time to try.

Or we can if shit gets even more dangerous later.

"If Tenten can trip Gaara up with wires, then Shikamaru can grab him with the Shadow Possession Jutsu." you start. "Then Sasuke and I can double-team him with our strongest moves."

"You don't what to try that too soon." Sasuke interrupts. "If you want me to do another Chidori, you're going to have to stall him for a bit. One you can hear the sound of birds chirping, that'll be your cue."

Shikamaru speaks next. "Which means we'll have to distract him until then. Let's just go take potshots at him while Sasuke gets ready. Try to keep away from his attacks if you can, you won't be able to take many."

All of you except Sasuke make a break out of your hiding place, and take positions around Gaara.

"What is this?" He growls. "You think your friends will be able to defeat me? You are only making yourselves weaker by relying on each other! You can only become strong by looking out for your self!"

Tenten throws some kunai, but Gaara blocks with his morphed arm, and they are enveloped in the sand. He launches them back at Tenten, who is forced to dodge. Gaara then launches himself with his tail towards Shikamaru absurdly fast. Shikamaru doesn't look like he'll be able to get out of the way.

>A.Try to get Shikamaru out of Gaara's path

>B.Attack Gaara, try to stop him

>C.Let someone else handle it

>D.Other

>>42541717
>B.Attack Gaara, try to stop him
Kiba pull Him away!

Call it Watt Release.

So when people ask 'What release?' We can just say yes

Volt Release, Blitz Release....

>>42541717
>A.Try to get Shikamaru out of Gaara's path

>>42541616
Thats not bad, on the same lines. How about Jolt Release.

>>42541717
>B.Attack Gaara, try to stop him
Just a burst of wind, try and push him off-course.

>>42541717
>>A.Try to get Shikamaru out of Gaara's path

>>42541744
Except in-character we speak Japanese, so that pun will make sense to no one.

>>42541717
>C.Let someone else handle it
Go Akamaru!

>>42541744
>>42541749
Those are both basically just Lightning, same problem as "Shock".

>>42541717
>A.Try to get Shikamaru out of Gaara's path

>>42541717
Use our knife on a rope to pull him out of the way.

>Get over here!

>>42541749
I like Impact, Jolt, and Thunder, in that order.

>>42541717
>>B.Attack Gaara, try to stop him
Vacuum wave maybe?

>>42541773
The character used for "Shock" in Japanese has no relation to electricity, though. It's more like "Impact".

Strike Release

As in a lightning strike.

Eh?

>>42541616
That seems OK. But does remind me a bit of One Piece's dials. Very fitting for the technique we used against Lee though, since we used his attack against him.

>>42541717
>B. Attack Gaara, try to stop him.
"JUDGEMENT FIST!"

>>42541744
>>42541749

Too much related to electricity for my tastes.

>>42541773

Shock is more of a shockwave.

Like how Shocker isn't like Electro.

So for New release we could go for Thunder, Impact, Shockwave or Concussive

>>42541773
Jolt as a verb means to surprise, knock sharply or to stun in boxing. You are thinking of Jolt as the noun.

>>42541775
We ARE faster than Gaara, so that could work.

I actually kinda like it.

>>42541806
The Kanji used could be Shock, but for English Reading how about we use Impact or Concussive?

>>42541850
But we're not stronger.

>>42541831

I vote Impact or Shock.

Maybe Thunder if we manage to somehow add in Lightning to it.

>>42541717
Seconding
>>42541775

>>42541806
Impact is a pretty awesome name tho

>>42541879
cool but we're still faster

So we can pull >>42541850

>>42541879
I assumed he meant grabbing Shika and pulling him out the way, rather than grabbing Gaara.

I wonder what Haku is doing right now.

Maybe assisting Jiraiya against Orochimaru?

>>42541899
Not nearly as effective as punching gaara with a shockwave-enhanced fist.

>>42541908
This might work though.

>>42541920
I can't think why he would be. He's probably just defending Ino and other members of the audience.

>>42541920
Someone has to fight the Kaiju snake

>>42541908
Yes.
Grab Shika not Gaara.

Should have made that clear.

>>42541846
Yeah, but the association is there, so it sounds kinda shit.

>>42541717
>>A.Try to get Shikamaru out of Gaara's path
We should have got Tenten to put a seal on all of us.
Assuming she can summon selectively, the tactical benefits of being able to escape combat instantly without a clear route are immense.

Guys. I've found an image that illustrates Kon perfectly.

>>42542026
She did, in the last thread.

Come on, mate.

You quickly pull out your kyoketsu-shoge and toss it around Shikamaru's leg. You're able to pull him out of the way just in time to avoid Gaara's attack.

You notice that Gaara's body is slowly becoming more and more enveloped by the sand.

As he's tuning back around, Kiba and Akamaru launch a Fang Over Fang at him, but his arm and tail form into a shield around him, preventing any damage.

Once the attack stops, Gaara goes back on the attack, swinging at Kiba and Akamaru. Kiba takes a hit blocking Akamaru, and hits a tree.

At that, Gaara starts to shake and grab his head. He lets out another scream as more sand covers his body.

>A.Attack him now

>B.Stay back, keep waiting

>C.Check on Kiba

>D.Other

>>42542057
No, she put a seal on Kon. She didn't do it for the rest of the team.

>>42542079
Oh. Yeah, misread. I've been shouting at my dumbass flatmate so I'm a bit distracted.

>>42542082
>B.Stay back, keep waiting
>C.Check on Kiba

>>42542082
>B.Stay back, keep waiting
We need to wait for Sasuke to power up the Chidori.

>>42542082
Do we hear the Chidori yet?

>>42542082
>>B.Stay back, keep waiting
>>C.Check on Kiba

>>42542082
>C.Check on Kiba

>>42542082
>C.Check on Kiba

Make sure he's OK, if not, get him to go back to the village.

>>42542082
>>C.Check on Kiba
If he can't fight, he needs to evac. Who knows, he might even be able to get reinforcements. We're pretty boned without them.

>>42542082
Ino mentioned a monster.

It must be trying to get out.

What if we got a reverse summon on Gaara?

Would that pull him away from the sand?

>>42542172
That would require Tenten getting in close, and she's neither fast enough nor strong enough to handle the job.

>>42542184
Also getting in under the sand, which I just can't see us managing.

>>42542172
I doubt it, since the sand probably counts as an extension of his body, being a sealed tailed beast and all.

>>42542184
Alright.
Then have her apply it to Sasuke.

When he uses chidori, she can poof him out of harms way.

>>42542215
Which is kind of weird, since every other tailed beast's shroud remains made of chakra until it reaches full manifestation. Shukaku's the only one that goes straight to matter.

>>42542266
A perk of being a one tailed beast?

You head over to Kiba and check on him.

"I'm okay." he coughs as he gets up. You can see a bit of blood running from his mouth, but he manages to stand on his own.

You glance at Sasuke, and he's still not quite ready.

Gaara however, is now completely covered in his sand, in the form of what seems to truly be a monster.

"You are all going to die here!" Gaara screams. "All because you let yourselves be dragged down by each other!"

>>42542316
>"There is no way to fight with everything you are unless you fight for someone else."
Honestly, mildly upset he hasn't pinned Tenten to a tree, yet. Would totally vote for berserker mode, then.

>>42542316
>>A.Try to say something to him
and yet, if any one of us were alone, we'd all be dead already. Having a team you can trust makes you a thousand times more dangerous Gaara.

Where's Kurama?

Perk of one tail, I guess. He's pretty much a one trick pony, but that one trick is versatile and he's really, really good at it.

>>42542316

Is it weird that I saw that image and went 'cute'?

Then fucking stay away from him.

Who left you Gaara? Did someone you care for try to drag you down? I bet it hurt you so much, you gave into the monster.

We all have our demons Gaara but I will not let you're hurt my friends or my village!

You try to run interference and use your speed to keep him distracted.

As you jump back and forth dodging blows, you taunt him. "I don't know what you're tlking about, Gaara. If we were alone we would have already been killed. It's because we're working as a team that we can become stronger."

"Shut up!" Gaara roars. "Sand Shuriken!"

From his arm, Gaara shoots sand projectiles at you, moving at a blinding speed. You try to dodge, but some manage to glance you.

Gaara looks like he's about to attack someone else, and he turns around. That's when you hear the sound. Chirping birds.

I wonder if we can stick a bunch of kunai and shuriken into Gaara and then force them through the sand with a concussion, like shrapnel.

>>42543090
He'll probably make them bounce away instead of letting them stick to his sand

>>42543361
We don't know, exactly. But his chances of existence don't look too good.
Or, to put it in a slightly more concise manner: Not Enchantment.

>>42543384
I'm personaly fine with either impact or thunder

>>42543384
Put the top 3 in a separate poll.

>>42543361
Well, we don't know that for sure, but something going horribly wrong during his sealing explains the differences in this timeline compared to canon. Naruto dies, Jiraiya becomes Hokage because he's not busy running a misinformation campaign on Naruto, Uchiha Massacre never happens because of butterflies and Obito not being there to make it worse. It hasn't been confirmed, but it seems plausible.

Alternate names for our Release: "Blow" "Wave" "Vibe"

You begin to build up your chakra for your attack.

While Tenten gets her wires ready, Kiba and Akamaru use Fang Over Fang to keep Gaara still. Gaara however, is having none of it, as he just bashes both Kiba and Akamaru to the ground. They don't get up.

At that moment, Tenten's wires envelop Gaara, who isn't amused. He takes a deep breath. "Wind Release: Sandstorm Devastation!"

Clouds of sand burst from Gaara's mouth and blow both the wires and Tenten away. Tenten hits a tree, and stays down.

In the time this is happening, Shikamaru manages to grab Gaara in his Shadow Possession Jutsu. It's clearly only for a moment, as Gaara is already struggling to break free, but it's enough.

Sasuke comes running towards Gaara, Chidori in hand behind him. You approach too, readying your attack.

>>42543520
>How do you attack?

One above, one below.

>>42543520
Hit the spot that Sasuke makes to paralyze Gaara!

>>42543520
>>42543546
Seconding this.

>>42543520
Go for the head while Sasuke goes for the heart.

Electricity to stop the heart and concussion to rattle the brain.

>>42543520
>How do you attack?
Try to use a chidori wannabe strike so we can have maximum piercing power

>>42543520
Slam our hand into the sand, release the chakra point-blank. Strike fairly close to where Sasuke is, so that the sand is the same consistency where both are hitting. That way he can't change the composition to defend against both.

>>42543501
Lots of us are fine with Shock Release.

Go to
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Special:BrowseData/Jutsu?Jutsu_type=Lightning_Release

Ctrl+f : Thunder
The distinction from our release and lightning wont be distinct enough as lightning techniques are often called "Thunder blah blah blah"

>>42543520
With an axe kick at full chakra power. Smash him to the ground and leave him mostly insensate through his sand. Sasuke follows up by running through Gaara and hitting the ground.

>>42543577
straw poll says otherwise

>>42543520
FINISH HIM WITH ONE ABOVE, ONE BELOW LIKE THIS GUY!>>42543546

>>42543546
Sounds good.

So guys, according to the poll we get a victory for Impact release.

>>42543520
Thin beam of raw force right over where his heart is.

>>42543520
Kick him in the dick

we should make the a name for the tech we're about to use

Use the Impact name since it looks like its winning the poll

>>42543520
We need to flood his defenses with concentrated whatever we name our release chakra. With any luck, it might loosen his grasp on his sand enough to let chidori do some major damage. Ideally, go for the head, but the torso is probably an easier target.

This >>42543546 seems to win, but I also need to know how you plan on releasing your chakra

Like a punch or blast or what

>>42543520
Meet sasuke in the middle. Brofist where Gaara's heart used to be.

>>42543644
Kick a kunai at his dick!
It'll be amazing!

>>42543555
Thiiiiiiiis

>>42543680

I say a punch, but blast is fine, too.

>>42543680
Punch him! Allow our fists to be the fists of impactful justice!

>>42543680
A really concentrated "Shattershot"?

>>42543680
Blast the impact chakra through the sand?
Try and shake it off for sasuke to get a clear hit

>>42543680
Punch, since we need to penetrate the sand armor.

>>42543680
Focused blast released as a palm strike, for a point-blank shot.

>>42543555
Came back from the crapper too late, but this may have been the smartest plan. Do it Boondock Saints style.

>>42543520
>Lightning and Thunder, one attack that punches through and another that blows him away.

>>42543680
Short range blast. Nobody wants a friendly fire incident now.

>>42543680
In a kick. Let a blast of chakra go from our foot as we axe kick him from above, hopefully fucking his sand enough that we impale him on Sasuke's Chidori.

>>42543680
Sasuke goes below him, then we hit him with an Impact-enhanced kick that knocks him right down into Sasuke, who will use Gaara's own weight and the force behind our kick to enhance the piercing abilities of his Chidori.

>>42543196
Garrote.
It's "garrote wire", though they use the common mispronunciation "guh-rot" which stems from the alternate spellings "garrotte" and "garotte".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrote

Blast Release?

>>42543832
Garage doors are typically held up using thin ropes of steel wire. Garage wire is a thing, man.

>>42543841
Theres already a blast release mate

>>42543859
Spike Release?

>>42543859
>>42543958
Punch release

You run at the temporarily immobilized Gaara and ready your fist. As Sasuke approaches from below, you jump up to strike him from above.

You punch and release your chakra right into Gaara, the sand covering him wobbling and falling out of place.

As Gaara is stunned from your attack, Sasuke comes straight in for the Chidori right into Gaara's chest.

Gaara doesn't react for a bit, but Sasuke immediately falls and passes out as soon as his move has hit.

"Guh." you hear Gaara grunt, He coughs up blood. The sand around him begins to quiver around his body. You notice that Gaara's eyes are closed. He must be unconscious, but the sand is still moving.

In fact, at that point the sand begins to erupt upwards, destroying everything in its path. You have to move, but your teammates may be hit. Shikamaru is the only one who is still mobile.

>A.Hurry and get out of the way

>B.Sasuke is closest, he needs your help

>C.Go help Kiba and Akamaru

>D.Go help Tenten

>E.Other

>>42543859
Thought that was "Explosion Release".

Honestly, Thunder is appropriate for its component elements. That's what made the decision for me.

Just sayin', if this doesn't work, can we please bail and try to keep everyone alive? Stopping Gaara is waaaay above our paygrade, and he's well outside the village now.

But yes, a masive force punch down onto Sasuka's Chidori sounds solid.

>>42543972
>B.Sasuke is closest, he needs your help

>>42543975
But there's so many things that are already called Thunder, not to mention, it's super close to lightning. Impact is an original and more interesting name.

>>42543972
>D. Help Tenten

>>42543972
>B.Sasuke is closest, he needs your help
>Shikamaru shadow posses the other gets them to move!

>>42543972
>B.Sasuke is closest, he needs your help
>D.Go help Tenten

We get these two

Shikamaru gets Kiba and Akamaru

>>42543972
>B.Sasuke is closest, he needs your help

>>42543972
>B.Sasuke is closest, he needs your help

>>42543972

>B. Sasuke is the closest.
>E. "SHIKAMARU, GET THE OTHERS!"

>>42543972
>B.Sasuke is closest, he needs your help
Sauce fainted mate go help him

Why not compromise and call it "Impact Thunder release"?

>>42543972
>E.Other
Rope Sasuke out of the way but move towards Tenten. They're both unconscious, so they both need help.

If it comes down to it, moving towards Tenten with Sasuke at least lets us try and repulse some of the sand.

>>42543972
Seconding
>>42544012

>>42543680
A Palm Blow

>>42544003
I like it.

>>42544012
Thirding.

>>42543972
...So, Laze, when's that backup showing up?

>>42544023

Too much of a mouthful.

Plus Impact already won the strawpoll.

>>42544032

You really need to have autoupdate on.

>>42543852
Look at the wires Walter uses. Do you really think those are pic related?
Fuck no. It much more closely resembles piano wire, which in the cultural zeitgeist is associated with use as a garrote.
Also, watch the scene again.
Jan uses a glottal stop at the end of the word. This is consistent with how he pronounces terminal "t"s in his other lines.
>>42543972
>B.Sasuke is closest, he needs your help
>E.Other
Yell at Shikamaru to get Kiba and Akamaru.
>D.Go help Tenten
On our way to safety.

>>42543972
>>B.Sasuke is closest, he needs your help

>>42543989
Pretty much this

I'm okay with thunder but impact is so much better because we wont be mistaken for the other guys that also use thunder as a tech name(theres a lot of people that do that)

So what? It's not like it's a completely new element, and it's not like the fact that the word "Thunder" is used detracts from the fact that it's a new kekkei genkai. And it's not even set in stone that concussive waves are the only shape it can take: that was just the one we chose. We've never even tried it in a stream, which apparently does something different according to the QM.

It's a combination of Lightning and Wind. Thunder describes that perfectly.

>>42543972
>B.Sasuke is closest, he needs your help
Plus he can't exactly dodge as is.

You quickly grab Sasuke and head to safety.

"Shikamaru, grab the others!" you shout.

He makes for Kiba and Akamaru and hauls them out of the way, but you don't see what happens to Tenten before something huge lands where you were all standing.

However, a figure immediately appears next to you and sets Tenten down.

Still conscious, she looks up at the boy. "Neji? Is that you?"

"Today was supposed to be my day off, since Itachi was covering for me." he scoffs. "But these Sand ninja just had to come and ruin it."

Not cool. We haven't even had a date. Aggressive jealousy is unbecoming.

>>42544433
Agreed. Lets not have a psychotic break when he just saved her life. That's a good thing. Besides, we have bigger sand-monsters to fry (or run away from. That should be an option, right?).

>>42544375
We don't even know Neji or anything about the Hyuuga clan

>>42544433
My aggressive jealousy isn't over Tenten. It's over this douche coming in and acting like some too old for this shit veteran when he only has a year more experience than we do. He doesn't even have any useful skills for this fight, you can't block chakra pathways through a dozen meters of sand. If he wants to pull people out of the way of attacks, fine. But don't act like you're going to matter when it comes to actually defeating him.

Too bad we don't have a giant animal we could bring forth to help us fight this sand monster.

>>42544457
True.
We are her friend and we should be grateful that she's not hurt

>>42544497
>Insert lewd joke here

>>42544433
Kon doesn't have any experience with women, he probably considers helping her at the shop a date

>>42544362
>>42544472
You think we don't know about one of the largest and most powerful clans in Konoha, when one of our classmates was one of them? I think we'd at least know the basic knowledge of "the Hyuuga's style shuts down chakra with a touch". The only reason Naruto didn't know that was because he was an idiot who never paid attention to anything.

>>42544433
>>42544457
Yeah, I may want Kon and Tenten to be shipped, but let's not be a bunch of yanderes.

>>42544493
But anon, if we knock the sand out of the way, he can dig through and kill Gaara through it.

>>42544493
Isnt he working with Itachi?
Itachi is also next in line for hokage

That to me kind of implies a pretty high skill level

>>42544433
Tentenfags showing their asses. Be happy he came when he did.

Who /Temari/ here?

>>42544532
Mate Kon has no experience but that doesnt mean he's retarded

>>42544575
Shikamaru. Obviously.
Why would you ask such a silly question?

>>42544592
Anon was projecting hardcore.

So, based on both strawpolls, Impact is our new release name?

>>42544575
better yet, who /Anko/ here?

>>42544562
Dude, not all of us want to go nuts over a guy saving Tenten. We should be thanking Neji for showing up when he did.

>>42544557
We have no evidence that he works with Itachi, just that he was able to take the day off today because Itachi was covering. There could be any number of reasons that is the case. It says nothing about his skill. And even if he is skilled, that doesn't mean his skills are applicable against Shukaku. Again, dozens of meters of sand.

>>42544575
She ain't my first choice, but she's better than Tenten easily.

Best girl is Fu anyway.

"Thanks for the save." you tell the new arrival.

You check on Tenten, and she manages to stand on her own.

You look up and see quite the sight. The sand that erupted from Gaara has formed a giant monster. The monster even begins to speak.

"Yahoo!" it yells. "I'm free! Hop you're all ready to die!"

The monster begins to hop around a bit, causing massive damage to the landscape.

Shikamaru lands next to you, Kiba and Akamaru in tow.

"There is no way we can fight that thing." Shikamaru says bluntly. "I'm taking Kiba and getting out of here. Tenten, you should take Sasuke and do the same. You two should come too, there's nothing we can do now."

"Wait." Neji interrupts. He turns to you. "That Sand boy is on top of the monster's head. That has to be his weak point. Let the others fall back, but if you could help me, we could have a chance to take this monster down. We can't let it run amok in the village! As shinobi of the Leaf, we must protect it!"
